SY | Middle School STEM Teacher

Position Summary

At Digital Pioneers Academy (DPA), our 6th–8th Grade Humanities Teachers are more than instructors—they are culture-builders, innovators, and champions of scholar success.

In this role, you will ensure every DPA scholar meets—and exceeds—high academic and behavioral expectations within a community where every student feels known, loved, and respected. You will play a critical role in shaping both the intellectual and character development of our scholars, preparing them to thrive in college, careers, and an increasingly complex world.

DPA teachers believe deeply that all scholars can achieve at the highest levels. As a Humanities Teacher, you will bring this belief to life by delivering rigorous, inquiry-driven instruction that builds scholars’ ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage deeply with the world around them.
